Balschmiter goes down in 6th

With the Massachusetts softball team leading 3-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning against Lehigh, pitcher UMass Brandice Balschmiter rolled her ankle as she released the first pitch of the second at bat of the inning and went down immediately. She was carried off the field by her teammates and was replaced by sophomore Bailey Sanders, who has one career save and none this season.

She has relieved Balschmiter late in games several times, but never in a save situation in 2008. UMass leads 3-0 in the bottom of the seventh.
